The veteran emcee sheds fear, false identity, and finds himself closer to God as he presents one of his most driven and focused releases to-date.<\/p>\n<p>After being introduced to <strong>Deca\u2019s<\/strong> music in 2020, <strong>Homeboy Sandman<\/strong> did a deep dive into the catalog of the rapper\/producer and discovered \u201c<em>Fairburn<\/em>\u201d off the album\u00a0<i>Forest Agates<\/i>. The beat became their first collaboration, \u201c<em>All Because of You<\/em>,\u201d which dropped in January 2021. The song perfectly set the tone of what was to come. Following their nineteen date co-headlining tour, <strong>Homeboy Sandman<\/strong> and MC\/producer <strong>Deca<\/strong> came together to create\u00a0<i>Still Champion<\/i>, a ten-song masterpiece brimming with positivity, deliciously soulful production and enough affirmations to move a mountain.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/avVvS_i0y6Y\" width=\"100%\" height=\"344\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Although <strong>Homeboy Sandman<\/strong> has been a highly-revered rapper and delivered timeless projects for over a decade, his skill as a lyricist is currently at an all time high. Feeling better than ever both in health (a product of his plant-based diet) and in spirit, the Rap veteran is creating his best music to-date. Similar to his\u00a0<i>There In Spirit\u00a0<\/i>EP<i>,\u00a0<\/i>self-actualization, individuality, triumph, and God are the driving forces behind his new album \u201c<em>Still Champion.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having learned from faltering in different ways throughout his career\u2014and life\u2014<i>Still Champion\u00a0<\/i>delivers a powerful potency not felt or heard in past releases. <strong>Homeboy Sandman<\/strong> states,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI am closer to God and to myself than I have ever been!!
